Re: Billy Graham wasn't already dead.
I was driving Zeus Jr. Jr. (she's 3) to school this morning and had NPR on. They did a story on Graham that had an excerpt of one of his sermons, and it scared her, so I turned it off.
She wasn't wrong.

Re: Billy Graham wasn't already dead.
Ha. Zeus- that was my reaction way back as a kid. And back when we had only 2 channelTV -pissed us off when he took over one for a few days. Other than that, my only impression of him is from pop culture. i.e. recently he was depicted on "the Crown" apparantly made impression on GB and the queen.
Also- the book "Unbroken" Louis Zamperini credited Billy Graham for helping him cope with alcoholism ptsd etc.

https://mobile.nytimes.com/2002/03/17/u ... oogle.com/Three decades after it was recorded, the North Carolina preacher's famous drawl is tinny but unmistakable on the tape, denigrating Jews in terms far stronger than the diary accounts.
''They're the ones putting out the pornographic stuff,'' Mr. Graham said on the tape, after agreeing with Mr. Nixon that left-wing Jews dominate the news media. The Jewish ''stranglehold has got to be broken or the country's going down the drain,'' he continued, suggesting that if Mr. Nixon were re-elected, ''then we might be able to do something.''
Finally, Mr. Graham said that Jews did not know his true feelings about them.
''I go and I keep friends with Mr. Rosenthal at The New York Times and people of that sort, you know,'' he told Mr. Nixon, referring to A. M. Rosenthal, then the newspaper's executive editor. ''And all -- I mean, not all the Jews, but a lot of the Jews are great friends of mine, they swarm around me and are friendly to me because they know that I'm friendly with Israel. But they don't know how I really feel about what they are doing to this country. And I have no power, no way to handle them, but I would stand up if under proper circumstances.''
